Delays of an hour were being reported on Metra's Union Pacific Northwest line this morning after a train derailed in the Harvard yard, officials said.

No injuries were reported.

Train 610 from Harvard, which should have departed about 5:45 a.m., derailed in the Harvard yard, Metra said.

Train 636, which was scheduled to leave Harvard at 7:35 a.m., was expected to be delayed by 60 to 70 minutes, Metra said.
